Rifle inherited from Grandpa

This is a pre-64 model 70 Wincherster 270. My Grandfather owned this rifle and had the stock custom made. Grandpa passed away in the early 80's, I was not old enough to remember him. I inherited this rifle in 2003.

That is one beautiful piece of craftsmanship. Amazing detailing. You can be very proud to own that rifle.

That is a fantastic heirloom and keepsake, Flying S. Someone went to a lot of intricate detail to make that rifle.

Wow nice looking firearm...And quite a family heirloom...
I'd have a tough time owning something like that- because I like to shoot them and use them-- and thats definitely not one you could go throwing behind the seat of the feed truck....

I carefully shot a deer with it every year OT. I have the original stock also. I may eventually have to put it back on, I love to shot the rifle.

That is a beautiful piece. Very Happy

Some work went into that.

I really like seeing those heirloom rifles but I carry one to much. they would get marked up. Confused

WOW! That is an amazing piece of craftsmanship. Pretty dang cool that you get to have it. I have a 30-30 that a great uncle used when he rode with the Texas Rangers lots of years ago. Thank you for sharing that rifle with us! You are the MAN! On a side note, can I see the rest of the elk mount? Wink

You can't tease me that way, Pal! Laughing

H that is one hell of an elk. I would probably tell the story wrong, but I am sure that that is the only elk JF has ever shot. I will see if I can get him to post a picture or send me one so that I can post it for him.
